Cheap flights to Innsbruck

For incredible mountain views, fairytale-style buildings and some of Europe’s best ski resorts then look no further than Innsbruck. Nestled in the Tyrolean Alps of Western Austria, Innsbruck is a city where activity rules. The locals here like nothing better than a spot of mountain climbing, trekking, snowboarding or skiing. Hardly surprising given that this city has twice hosted the Winter Olympics in the past. And when they’re not on the piste trying out the latest jumps they’re likely to be wandering the cobbled streets of their beautiful medieval city enjoying the breathtaking Alpine views. Now that’s what we call good living!

Innsbruck city guide

Looming above the Tyrolean capital are the mind-blowing peaks that have long made Innsbruck a favourite with the ski crowd. However, wander up boutique-strewn Maria-Theresien-Strasse, into the bustling Old Town and, as well as winter-sports junkies, you’ll find bar hoppers, food fanatics and architecture nuts.
